[영어 성경] Mark chapter 7

Mk. 7:1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had

come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus and

Mk. 7:2 saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were

“unclean”, that is, unwashed.

Mk. 7:3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give

their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of

the elders.

Mk. 7:4 When they come from the market-place they do not eat

unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions,

such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.) [Some

early manuscripts pitchers, kettles and dining couches]

Mk. 7:5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why

don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the

elders instead of eating their food with `unclean’ hands?”

Mk. 7:6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you

hypocrites; as it is written: “`These people honour me with

their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

Mk. 7:7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught

by men.’ [Isaiah 29:13]

Mk. 7:8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on

to the traditions of men.”

Mk. 7:9 And he said to them: “You have a fine way of setting aside

the commands of God in order to observe [Some

manuscripts: set up] your own traditions!

Mk. 7:10 For Moses said, `Honour your father and your mother,’

[Exodus 20:12; Deut. 5:16] and, `Anyone who curses his

father or mother must be put to death.’ [Exodus 21:17; Lev.

20:9]

Mk. 7:11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother:

`Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me

is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

107

Mk. 7:12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or

mother.

Mk. 7:13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you

have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

Mk. 7:14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me,

everyone, and understand this.

Mk. 7:15 Nothing outside a man can make him `unclean’ by going into

him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him

`unclean’.”

Mk. 7:16 [Some early manuscripts `unclean’. 16 If anyone has ears to

hear, let him hear.”]

Mk. 7:17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his

disciples asked him about this parable.

Mk. 7:18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that

enters a man from the outside can make him `unclean’?

Mk. 7:19 For it doesn’t go into his heart but into his stomach, and then

out of his body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods

“clean”.)

Mk. 7:20 He went on: “What comes out of a man is what makes him

`unclean’.

Mk. 7:21 For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts,

sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

Mk. 7:22 greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and

folly.

Mk. 7:23 All these evils come from inside and make a man `unclean’.”

Mk. 7:24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. [Many

early manuscripts Tyre and Sidon] He entered a house and

did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his

presence secret.

Mk. 7:25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little

daughter was possessed by an evil [Greek: unclean] spirit

came and fell at his feet.

108

Mk. 7:26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She

begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

Mk. 7:27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is

not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their

dogs.”

Mk. 7:28 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “but even the dogs under the table

eat the children’s crumbs.”

Mk. 7:29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon

has left your daughter.”

Mk. 7:30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the

demon gone.

Mk. 7:31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon,

down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the

Decapolis. [That is, the Ten Cities]

Mk. 7:32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and

could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on

the man.

Mk. 7:33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his

fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spat and touched the

man’s tongue.

Mk. 7:34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him,

“Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

Mk. 7:35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened

and he began to speak plainly.

Mk. 7:36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he

did so, the more they kept talking about it.

Mk. 7:37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done

everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and

the mute speak.”
